Kizaru

Biodata

Appearance

Shimura Kizaru presents a striking and immediately recognizable figure, his appearance as unconventional as his abilities. Even from a young age, he possesses an outstanding physique and an unusual, flamboyant style of dress that sets him apart from his peers. His signature tinted sunglasses and perpetually relaxed demeanor make him easily distinguishable to the villagers of Konoha, who often spot him lounging with his hands in his pockets and a faint, knowing smile on his face 35. As he grows, his athletic build becomes notably tall, with exceptionally long legs that contribute to his swift, almost languid movements 1 40.

Following years of Natural Energy cultivation, Kizaru's true body grows to approximately three meters in height, exceeding ordinary human proportions in the shinobi world. To continue living inconspicuously, he develops Senjutsu: Life Return, a technique inspired by the One Piece world's Life Return and Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu, allowing him to regulate his physical form and usually maintain a height of around 1.9 meters. He releases this restraint when fighting seriously 191.

• Signature Accessories: He is rarely seen without his distinct tinted sunglasses, which hide his eyes and add to his enigmatic aura 35.
• Attire: Kizaru favors an unconventional and flamboyant style of dress that defies standard ninja uniformity, making him stand out in any crowd 35. As Fourth Hokage, he wears a white ceremonial haori marked with red lettering over his yellow-striped suit 223.
• Facial Expression: A faint, often mocking smile is his default expression, remaining even in the midst of battle or while delivering fatal blows 46 47. His smile notably disappears when he discovers Zen-hiko's mutilated condition 218.
• Posture: He habitually keeps his hands in his pockets, projecting an air of casual confidence and indifference to his surroundings 1 48.
• Physique: Kizaru develops a tall, athletic build with notably long legs, which he uses to generate explosive speed and power 1 40 48. At 66% fusion, his bare physical strength is sufficient to wrestle Matatabi without Chakra, Haki, or Devil Fruit powers 74.
• Giant of Light Form: By drawing upon an immense reserve of Natural Energy, Kizaru can transform into a colossal golden Giant of Light larger than Madara Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo 272. In the One Piece world, this form can reach roughly one hundred meters in height 431.

Personality

Shimura Kizaru's personality is a complex blend of calm confidence, strategic cunning, and playful mischief, underpinned by a ruthless pragmatism that emerges decisively when his interests or those he protects are threatened. As a transmigrator with a cheat-like Character Card, he exhibits a mature perspective that allows him to navigate the ninja world with calculated ambition, often hiding his true strength behind a lazy, laid-back demeanor. He is deeply aware of his own talent and uses it to build influence, yet he also shows genuine care for his clan’s younger members, stepping in to defend them against unfair treatment. This dual nature — the easygoing provocateur and the cold, efficient warrior — defines his interactions: he teases rivals with exaggerated, insincere exclamations like "How truly terrifying!" 1 47 while simultaneously engineering situations to consolidate power and eliminate threats without remorse. Beneath his smile lies a sharp intellect that assesses risks and rewards, a trait that has earned him both admiration from allies and a reputation as a "monster" among enemies.

• Calm and Confident: Kizaru rarely loses his composure, even in the face of powerful opponents or dangerous situations. During his spar with Uchiha Inabi, he keeps his hands in his pockets, dodges effortlessly, and delivers the line, "Do you know? Speed is power!" before defeating him in one kick 1. Against the Third Raikage, he retreats strategically and then ambushes the Kage, showing no panic but rather calculated confidence in his abilities 47.
• Mischievous and Provocative: He delights in needling his adversaries with sarcastic mockery. After defeating Uchiha Inabi, he repeatedly says "How terrifying!" in a tone that makes his victim's blood boil 1. When Jiraiya attacks him in disguise, Kizaru feigns ignorance and says, "Lord Jiraiya's acting skills were so superb that I truly thought he was a spy... He really scared me to death," dripping with obvious sarcasm 20.
• Ruthless and Pragmatic: On the battlefield, Kizaru shows no mercy. When his attack on Kumogakure leaves survivors cursing him, he calmly uses his laser beams to "silence" them one by one until no sound remains 46. He razes a significant portion of the village without hesitation, viewing the destruction as mere "interest" 46 47. This ruthlessness extends to his strategic decisions: he retreats from a fight he cannot win quickly, understanding that "fighting thousands of ninja for three days and three nights only to die of exhaustion" is foolish 47. After learning that Zen-hiko was crippled while gathering intelligence, he personally annihilates three Kumogakure bases in the Land of Grass in retaliation 218 219.
• Strategic and Ambitious: Kizaru thinks several steps ahead, using his reputation to accelerate his Character Card fusion rate 16. He manipulatively leverages his popularity among the Shimura clan to bypass Danzo's authority 2. When Danzo wants to recruit Minato by force, Kizaru advises adopting him instead — a softer, more effective method 32. He also studies genjutsu and sealing jutsu not to master them, but to shore up his weaknesses, demonstrating a mature understanding of self-improvement 33. Later, he favors demonstrating value, granting favors to useful people, and expanding collective interests rather than openly seizing others' power 119.
• Protective and Loyal to His Circle: Kizaru cares deeply about those under his protection. When his subordinate Zen-hiko is ganged up on by Uchiha clan kids, Kizaru becomes furious and decides to challenge a Jonin from the Uchiha clan directly, stating, "for the Uchiha to bully the weak... pick on my own subordinate? Kizaru couldn't let that slide" 17. He maintains close relationships with his younger clansmen, playing with them and looking after them 4. He also refuses to abandon Zen-hiko after his crippling injuries, promising to use Hashirama Cells research to restore his arm and eye 221.
• Confident Yet Laid-Back: Despite his overwhelming power, Kizaru often appears lazy and relaxed. He slumps over his desk sleeping during class 17, spends his free time fishing and developing new techniques at his own pace 16 32, and only shows his full ability when circumstances demand it. Yet he also trains daily, mastering mid-to-high-level Wind Release ninjutsu in secret 9.
• Humble When Appropriate: Despite his genius, Kizaru does not act arrogantly toward respected mentors. He listens carefully to Hiruzen Sarutobi's advice and respectfully explains his motivation for studying supplementary arts, earning the Hokage's admiration: "You already possess the mature mindset of a powerful ninja!" 33.
• Reform-Minded Ruler: As Hokage, Kizaru opposes suppressing capable ninja clans merely to preserve political balance. He instead seeks to cultivate both clan and civilian talent, improve shinobi welfare, and use their abilities to advance society 225. His long-term objective is a unified world where ordinary people can live stable, prosperous lives rather than being consumed by endless wars 223.
• Protective Mentor: Kizaru uses his overwhelming strength to guide younger shinobi rather than simply intimidate them. He restrains himself during Inabi, Toda, and Yuki's assessment so that they can develop teamwork and combat awareness 133 134. He also supports students pursuing unconventional paths, even confronting the Hyuga main branch to defend their choices 190.

Background

Transmigration

Shimura Kizaru, born as Li Yuan in his previous life, transmigrated into the world of Naruto on the very day he had finally secured a stable government job—a goal he had worked toward for twenty years. Upon awakening in the Ninja World, he found himself a newborn in the Shimura clan, a ninja family known for its Wind Release techniques and its ties to the influential Root organization. From birth, Kizaru retained the memories and personality of his past life, which bore a striking resemblance to that of Admiral Kizaru from One Piece: a laid‑back, carefree demeanor and a preference for an easy, routine existence. However, the harsh reality of the shinobi world—where children could graduate as early as age twelve and be sent directly to the battlefield—stood in stark contrast to his ideals 1. To accelerate his growth and adapt to his new circumstances, he forcibly changed his name from Shimura Senxin to Shimura Kizaru, an act that would have been punishable for an ordinary clan member but was permitted because of his prodigious talent 2. His transmigrant mindset and mature outlook helped him navigate the complex politics of Konoha, allowing him to form his own plans for development while maintaining a calm, confident front 33.

Cheat: Admiral Kizaru Template

Upon transmigrating, Kizaru awakened a cheat in the form of a Character Template Card representing Admiral Kizaru from One Piece. This card did not grant immediate peak power; instead, it operated on a fusion rate (synchronization rate) that determined how much of Admiral Kizaru’s abilities Kizaru could access. The fusion rate could be increased through constant training and by imitating Admiral Kizaru’s style of conduct to gain corresponding fame 1. From the moment he began revealing his talent at age three, his fusion rate—which had been rising slowly for three months—spiked dramatically after his outstanding performance in the Ninja Academy entrance selection. In just half a day, the rate reached 10% and continued climbing 2. At 10%, Kizaru unlocked the Glint‑Glint Fruit (also called the Light Fruit or Pika Pika no Mi), granting him the ability to emit, control, and transform into light. He demonstrated this new power by firing a golden laser from his fingertip, blasting a massive crater in the courtyard of his home 2. Later, after fusing with another ability—physical enhancement—Kizaru integrated the physical attributes of Admiral Kizaru during his youth, which far surpassed the Jonin‑level strength he had already cultivated through years of training 17. Over the following two years, his fusion rate advanced from 20% to 45% thanks to his show‑stopping graduation exam and the announcement that the Third would take him as a disciple. This allowed him to integrate Admiral Kizaru’s taijutsu, including swordsmanship, and Haki cultivation from the admiral’s youth 40. The cheat’s progression made Kizaru a monstrous genius, often compared to the First in potential, and the elders of the Shimura clan were overjoyed to have a prodigy capable of creating a new Kekkei Genkai—the Glint‑Glint Fruit—which they publicly claimed was an awakened bloodline to protect the clan’s interests 2 37.

Kizaru's rise in fame dramatically accelerated the Template's later stages. At 66%, he acquired Admiral Kizaru's peak physical condition; at 91%, his Glint-Glint Fruit reached awakening; and at 100%, he assimilated the entirety of Admiral Kizaru's combat experience 74 167 223. Completion of the Template did not end his growth. Instead, the Character Card dissolved and transformed into a virtual representation of the Shinobi World, revealing a new Conquest Progress system tied to his territorial rule, the lives under his governance, and their loyalty and adoration 223.

Clan Life

As the only child of Danzo’s deceased younger brother—an elite Jonin who died on a Root mission—Shimura Kizaru was the direct descendant and natural heir to the clan head position. He was confirmed early on as the future head of the Shimura clan, receiving special treatment and the unwavering support of the clan elders 2. The Shimura clan at that time was at its strongest in fifty years but also at its most vulnerable; having reaped benefits through Danzo’s position at Root, they needed time to convert those gains into lasting strength. Kizaru’s emergence was seen as an earth‑shattering joy, a beacon of hope that could secure the clan’s future and elevate its status to that of top‑tier ninja clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga 4 37. The elders—especially the Great Elder—were deeply protective of Kizaru, even covering up the true nature of his light‑based Kekkei Genkai to prevent outside interference 2. Danzo, though proud of his nephew’s potential, also harbored jealousy and attempted to pull Kizaru into Root; however, the entire clan’s refusal to let Kizaru be used solely as a tool forced Danzo to relent, as he could not defy the clan’s will without becoming completely isolated 2. Within the clan compound, Kizaru was idolized by children of his generation. He was known for his approachable personality—having helped adults look after the younger ones from a very young age—and was universally praised as the “perfect child of someone else.” His peers, such as Shimura Yoshihiko, Shimura Yuki, and Shimura Tanin, took pride in being his classmates, and even the sickly but intelligent Shimura Shintaro looked up to him as a symbol of hope 4. The clan’s care for Kizaru was comprehensive, and his popularity among clan children was a direct result of his proactive, caring attitude and his status as the clan’s future leader 4.

Hokage and the Land of Light

Kizaru's military feats, political network, and support from Hiruzen gradually established him as Konoha's uncontested successor. After the Shinobi World came to regard him as a new God of Shinobi, he succeeded Hiruzen as the Fourth Hokage 222. Rather than simply preserving Konoha's existing power structure, he pursued reforms that promoted talent from both ninja clans and civilian backgrounds, strengthened the village through economic and scientific projects, and sought to reduce the attrition that shinobi suffered under the old system 225.

After unifying the shinobi world, Kizaru established the Land of Light. Under his rule, the former era of constant village warfare ended, and the Land of Light developed into a unified nation built around peace, productivity, education, technology, and public welfare 431 499. His rule also became the foundation for his Conquest Progress, which rewards not merely territory, but the degree to which the population accepts and supports his governance 223.

Senjutsu and the Path to Godhood

The Great Toad Sage identified Kizaru as the Giant of Light from his dreams and placed Mount Myoboku's future on an alliance with him. Kizaru consequently accepted Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu, studied under Fukasaku, and shared the location of Ryūchi Cave with Orochimaru so that Root could assist in Senjutsu research 179. Over years of training, he learned to balance Natural Energy with physical and spiritual energy, allowing him to enter Sage Mode and combine Natural Energy with his One Piece-based cultivation 187 190.

After completing the Admiral Template, Kizaru learns that Conquest Progress grants direct influence over the Shinobi World's Natural Energy and physical matter. At 9% Conquest Progress, he can control 9% of the planet's Natural Energy and material substance, a degree of authority he considers sufficient to make him invincible within the world 223. He believes that increasing this value could allow him to achieve a god-like state and an immense lifespan, but recognizes that recklessly draining the planet's Natural Energy would turn it into a dead world 223.

Abilities and Powers

Devil Fruit: Glint-Glint Fruit

Kizaru possesses the Glint-Glint Fruit (Pika Pika no Mi), a Logia-type Devil Fruit from the One Piece world that grants the ability to create, control, and become light itself 2. This power was unlocked upon reaching a 10% fusion rate with the Character Card of Admiral Kizaru 2. The fruit provides immense offensive and mobility capabilities, high damage output, and evasion, making it a nearly perfect ability in Kizaru's arsenal 2. The Shimura clan officially classifies it as an ancient bloodline Kekkei Genkai to protect Kizaru and the clan 2.

At 91% fusion, Kizaru's Devil Fruit awakens. Beyond producing, absorbing, and transforming into light, he gains the ability to manipulate ambient light in his surrounding environment 167. He begins developing this awakened power in conjunction with genjutsu and sealing barriers toward an S-rank illusion capable of encompassing an extremely large area, potentially even an entire country 167.

• Elementalization: The most basic Logia ability—Kizaru can transform any part of his body into light, allowing physical attacks to pass through him harmlessly 3. Kumogakure's analysts compare the effect to a superior form of the Hozuki Clan's Hydrification Technique 208.
• Light Projection and Laser Emission: Kizaru can emit powerful golden lasers from his fingertips, capable of blasting craters into rock or destroying rockeries 2. He can also fire concentrated golden beams from his index finger to kill opponents one by one 46.
• Light Speed Movement: By transforming into a beam of light, Kizaru can move at incredible speeds, arriving at his target before his opponent can react. This is used both for travel, such as descending as a golden flash at Konoha's gates, and in combat to close distances instantly 26 40.
• Light Speed Kick: Kizaru kicks with his leg glowing, generating a crescent-shaped slash composed of lasers that can slice enemies or destroy projectiles 26 46. This technique can also be used to kick shuriken-enhanced ninjutsu out of the air 26.
• Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi: A signature technique where Kizaru forms a sword made of pure light by drawing his hand across his arm. He wields this light blade to cut down multiple enemies in rapid succession 46. Its slashes can also carve immense chasms through the desert and divide entire battlefields 158.
• Yasakani no Magatama: Kizaru raises both hands and rains down countless light projectiles over a wide area, obliterating everything below 45 46.
• Awakened Light Manipulation: Following his Devil Fruit awakening, Kizaru can manipulate light already present in the environment, significantly expanding the range and versatility of his Light Style 167.
• Giant of Light: Kizaru can use enormous quantities of Natural Energy to assume a gigantic golden body of light. This form is capable of physically catching a meteorite pulled down by Madara Uchiha and fighting opponents on the scale of Complete Body Susanoo 272.

Wind Release Ninjutsu

Although the Shimura clan specializes in Wind Release, Kizaru's natural talent and chakra control allowed him to master high-level Wind Style techniques in less than a month 8 9. Danzo personally taught him the foundational forms and then gave him improved, higher-ranked versions. Kizaru's spiritual energy and chakra reserves rival those of a Tailed Beast, enabling him to power these techniques far beyond their standard rank 8.

• Wind Style: Vacuum Wave (B-rank) – A basic Wind projectile technique that Kizaru learned in one day 8.
• Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere (B-rank) – Spitting out transparent wind bullets; Kizaru used this against Danzo during their spar 8 26. He later uses powerful Vacuum Spheres during his assessment against Hatake Kakashi 372.
• Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves – An advanced technique that fires a dozen sharp, sickle-weasel-like gusts that shred wooden stakes and stone 8. Danzo improved this to S-rank and renamed it Super Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves 8 14.
• Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere – Improved to S-rank and renamed Super Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere by Danzo 8 14.
• Wind Style: Shuriken – Kizaru performed this technique using only a wooden shuriken, creating a large crater on the training ground during a school test 11.
• Wind Style: Kunai – Enchants thrown weapons with Wind chakra 8.
• Super Wind Style: Vacuum Wave (A-rank) and Super Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere (A-rank) – Danzo's improved versions of the original B-rank techniques, which Kizaru also mastered 8 14.

Taijutsu and Swordsmanship

Kizaru fused the physical attributes and combat skills of a young Admiral Kizaru as his first ability from the Character Card 17. Later, at a 45% fusion rate, he integrated Admiral Kizaru's taijutsu, including swordsmanship, directly into his fighting style 40. Combined with his Glint-Glint Fruit powers, his taijutsu becomes devastatingly fast and powerful.

At 66% fusion, Kizaru gains Admiral Kizaru's peak physical condition. His raw strength alone is enough to wrestle Matatabi without Chakra, Haki, or Devil Fruit powers, while his kicks can effortlessly suppress the rampaging Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Blue B 74 152. Natural Energy training enhances this physique further, making him effectively equivalent to more than one peak Admiral even in his normal state 207.

• Physical Enhancement Fusion: After fusing the physical potential of young Admiral Kizaru, Kizaru's base strength surpassed that of a Jonin, far exceeding his peers 17.
• Peak Physical Fitness: At 66% fusion, Kizaru receives the peak physical condition of Admiral Kizaru. He can physically contend with Tailed Beasts and is widely regarded as a human Tailed Beast himself 74 152.
• Body Flicker Slash (combination technique) – A light-enhanced Body Flicker combined with a cutting attack, used during the graduation exam against Uchiha Kensuke 37.
• Light Style: Flash Instant Technique – A combination of taijutsu and his Devil Fruit that allowed him to instantly appear and strike during the early graduation exam 37.
• Six Powers: Finger Pistol (modified) – Kizaru combined Finger Pistol with Armament Haki and Glint-Glint Fruit light power to create a one-finger penetrating thrust, matched against the Third Raikage's Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite 47.
• Iron Body: Kizaru can harden his body through the Six Powers technique, allowing him to withstand Kakuzu's attacks during his recruitment assessment 60.
• Geppo: Kizaru can step upon the air to change direction or remain airborne without relying on chakra. He uses it while testing Uchiha Inabi, Hyuga Toda, and Shimura Yuki 134.
• Flying Slash: Kizaru can release destructive cutting force through a weapon or even a single finger. He demonstrates a one-finger slash while testing Obito's aptitude 325.

Haki

At a 45% fusion rate, Kizaru integrated Admiral Kizaru's Haki cultivation from his youth, gaining both Armament Haki and Observation Haki 40. His Haki continues developing through Natural Energy cultivation and later includes Conqueror's Haki powerful enough to overwhelm weaker combatants and split the sea when infused into an attack 207 473.

• Armament Haki: Used to harden his finger for a Finger Pistol variant against the Third Raikage, allowing him to match a Lightning Release-enhanced Nukite 47. Also employed during the rampage in Kumogakure to empower his kicks and sword strikes 46.
• Observation Haki: Allows Kizaru to sense opponents and avoid detection. He uses it alongside invisibility while planting Flash Bombs within Kumogakure 45. His sensory capacity becomes sufficiently advanced to track Black Zetsu's movements underground 238.
• Conqueror's Haki: Kizaru possesses the rare kingly Haki and can unleash its overwhelming pressure against groups of enemies 427. He can also infuse it into attacks, demonstrating the technique by splitting the sea before Haki trainees including Hashirama Senju and the Third Raikage 473.
• Haki Infusion: Kizaru is knowledgeable enough to explain that Armament Haki infusion must be mastered before attempting Conqueror's Haki infusion 473.
• Mental Resistance: Kizaru's spiritual power is great enough to overwhelm Fu Yamanaka's mind technique, resist Danzo's Kotoamatsukami, and nullify Danzo's Izanagi through superior spiritual energy 373.
• Invisibility (ability combination): By weaving genjutsu principles with his Devil Fruit powers, Kizaru developed an invisibility technique, likely as an extension of light manipulation and Haki-enhanced perception control 40.

Senjutsu and Natural Energy

Kizaru accepts Mount Myoboku's Senjutsu after the Great Toad Sage identifies him as the prophesied Giant of Light. He cultivates under Fukasaku and gradually integrates Natural Energy into his One Piece-based physical and Haki systems 179 187 207.

• Sage Mode: By balancing Natural Energy with physical and spiritual energy, Kizaru can refine chakra into Senjutsu Chakra and enter Sage Mode, greatly surpassing his already formidable standard-state combat power 187 190.
• Frog Kumite: Kizaru can use surrounding Natural Energy to extend the range of his physical strikes, even while not actively in Sage Mode 207.
• Senjutsu: Life Return: A self-created technique that allows Kizaru to control his body and alter his size, enabling him to suppress his natural three-meter stature during daily life 191.
• Natural Energy Regeneration: Kizaru can absorb Natural Energy to repair bodily damage almost instantly and continually improve his body, contributing to his extraordinary longevity and regenerative capacity 420.
• Giant of Light Transformation: Kizaru's ultimate Natural Energy-based transformation, though its energy requirement initially prevented him from using it consistently 190. He later manifests the form during Madara Uchiha's assault on Konoha 272.

Combined and Derivative Techniques

Kizaru spent two years developing ways to combine his ninjutsu training in genjutsu and sealing jutsu with his Glint-Glint Fruit abilities, resulting in several unique techniques 33 40.

• Rasengan (modified): Kizaru learned and developed the Rasengan, which he used during the graduation exam against Uchiha Kensuke 32 37.
• Flash Bombs: Created by combining sealing jutsu taught by Tsunade and Mito with the principles of the Rasengan and the Glint-Glint Fruit's explosive light core. The bombs can be thrown as grenades or flashbangs, buried as landmines, or set as timed explosives with remote detonation via sealing technique. They exist stably for up to half an hour 40 45.
• Light Style: Body Flicker (Ama no Murakumo) – Transforming into light and reappearing instantly, often combined with a kick or sword strike 26.
• S-rank Illusionary Barrier Concept: After awakening his Fruit, Kizaru begins developing an ultra-wide-range genjutsu by fusing awakened light manipulation with genjutsu and sealing barriers. He estimates that the completed technique may be able to trap an entire country in illusion 167.
• Spatial Travel: Kizaru can distort space and create spatial rifts to transport himself and others across great distances, including between locations in the One Piece world 477.
• Conquest Progress Control: After reaching 100% Template fusion, Kizaru gains authority over a portion of the Shinobi World's Natural Energy and physical matter based on Conquest Progress. At 9%, he can influence 9% of the planet's energy and matter 223.

Power Progression

Relationships

Danzo Shimura

As Kizaru's uncle and the leader of the Shimura clan, Danzo maintains a complex, often tense relationship with his prodigal nephew. Danzo is both proud of Kizaru's monstrous talent and deeply concerned by his overconfidence, which he occasionally seeks to humble through assessments and sparring 24 26. Their interactions range from direct confrontation—Kizaru openly challenges Danzo's authority and criticizes his brutal recruitment methods 17 32—to rare moments of mutual respect, as when Danzo acknowledges Kizaru's strength after their assessment battle and admits he "misjudged this child" 26. Despite his stern exterior, Danzo shows genuine concern for Kizaru's safety, sighing with relief upon his return from missions and revealing his anxiety over assassination attempts 40. Danzo also acts as a strategic mentor, encouraging Kizaru to think like a ruler and supporting his early graduation, while simultaneously attempting to use Kizaru's power to further his own ambitions 50 7. Their relationship is further complicated by Danzo's adoption of Namikaze Minato, a move Kizaru himself suggested, which deepens their familial bonds yet keeps a competitive edge between them 32 34.

Their cooperation continues into Kizaru's rise to Hokage, with Danzo viewing his nephew as the person capable of leading Konoha to decisive victory and world hegemony 207. Kizaru, however, remains willing to act independently when Danzo conceals information or endangers those close to him, as demonstrated when he retaliates against Kumogakure after learning the truth about Zen-hiko's injuries 218 220.

In a parallel world Kizaru later visits, he infiltrates the alternate Shimura clan under the identity of Shimura Wuxing and deceives that world's Danzo into recognizing him as the clan's successor 366 373. He subsequently works with Tsunade to expose Danzo's attempted assassination, severs Danzo's Sharingan-bearing arm, negates Kotoamatsukami and Izanagi, and kills him 373.

Hiruzen Sarutobi

The Third becomes Kizaru's teacher and a key mentor, deeply invested in the boy's development. Hiruzen first takes notice after Kizaru's exceptional performance at the academy entrance exam and later agrees to take him as a student, seeing him as "a pillar of the village's future" 1 24 33. Their relationship is built on mutual admiration and strategic guidance: Hiruzen provides Kizaru with scrolls on genjutsu and sealing jutsu but advises him to focus on his Kekkei Genkai's potential, impressed by Kizaru's mature understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses 33. Hiruzen consistently supports Kizaru's initiatives, such as approving his graduation exam opponent and praising his creation of the Rasengan 27 34. In return, Kizaru shows respect for his teacher's wisdom and often seeks his approval. Hiruzen's influence serves as a counterbalance to Danzo's, as he aims to shape Kizaru into a protector of the village rather than a tool of Root 34. The bond between them strengthens over two years of training, with Hiruzen considering Kizaru "the new hope" of Konoha 33.

Hiruzen later recognizes in Kizaru both Hashirama's power and Tobirama's intellect, considering him an ideal Hokage 95. He eventually passes the Hokage position to Kizaru, confident that his disciple can guide Konoha into a stronger and more prosperous era 222. Even after Kizaru's accession, Hiruzen remains a trusted adviser and moral anchor within his political circle 225.

Namikaze Minato

Initially a classmate and later a close friend, Minato becomes a central figure in Kizaru's inner circle. Kizaru recognizes Minato's exceptional talent early on and deliberately arranges for him to train with his followers, eventually leading Minato to become a near-permanent resident of the Shimura compound 29 32. Their brotherly bond is evident in Minato's caring concern for Kizaru after he returns from drinking, and in Kizaru's affectionate treatment of him 42. Kizaru's influence is pivotal in shaping Minato's path: when Danzo expresses interest in recruiting Minato into Root, Kizaru intervenes, advising Danzo to adopt Minato as a foster son instead, thereby shifting his training toward a more protective environment 32 34. This adoption cements Minato's place in the Shimura family, and Kizaru continues to support him, teaching him the Rasengan and treating him like a younger brother 29 42. Their relationship is one of mutual growth, with Kizaru leveraging his knowledge of the future to cultivate Minato's potential 32.

In later years, Minato becomes one of Kizaru's most trusted comrades and leads the Assassin Brotherhood during operations in the One Piece world 412. Their relationship remains informal despite Kizaru's political status, with Kizaru continuing to tease Minato relentlessly 343 344.

Tsunade

Kizaru's relationship with Tsunade begins with a notable first meeting where he sends Jiraiya flying with his Light Style, immediately impressing her 21. Impressed by his strength and maturity, Tsunade offers to teach him the Strength of a Hundred Seal and proposes he become her disciple, despite his already being Hiruzen's student 21. Over time, she teaches him sealing jutsu alongside Mito Uzumaki 40. However, their bond is severely strained when Kizaru hospitalizes Tsunade's younger grand-nephew, Nawaki Senju, to prevent his assassination. Tsunade is initially furious, blaming Kizaru, but later comes to understand his protective intent 40. Their relationship remains complex—colored by Tsunade's fiery temper and Kizaru's laid-back demeanor—yet she continues to interact with him, even asking him to keep an eye on things 40 21.

Their closeness increases over time, with colleagues noticing their frequent interactions and teasing them about it 168. Tsunade remains highly protective of Kizaru, rushing to examine him after his encounter with Madara Uchiha despite his lack of injuries 103. In the parallel world, she becomes Kizaru's secret collaborator against the alternate Danzo and agrees to turn his assassination attempt into a counter-trap 367 373.

Jiraiya

Jiraiya serves as both an early benchmark for Kizaru's strength and a frequent subject of Kizaru's taunts. Their first direct encounter results in Kizaru using his Light Speed Kick to send Jiraiya flying, an incident that Jiraiya never lives down and that Kizaru repeatedly references during later fights, much to Jiraiya's embarrassment 21 26. Jiraiya is present as a spectator during Kizaru's assessment against Danzo, and he recognizes the technique with "vivid memory" 26. Despite this antagonistic dynamic, Jiraiya shows concern for Kizaru's well-being—for example, he is with Tsunade when she learns about Nawaki's hospitalization and helps calm the situation 40. Their relationship is largely defined by Kizaru's playful disrespect and Jiraiya's grudging admiration.

Jiraiya later accompanies Kizaru to Mount Myoboku, where he unsuccessfully attempts to learn the details of Kizaru's conversation with the Great Toad Sage 179. Though annoyed by Kizaru's secrecy and teasing, he remains part of Kizaru's trusted circle 399.

Orochimaru

Orochimaru is assigned as Kizaru's instructor after Danzo and Hiruzen debate between him and Hatake Sakumo 15. Kizaru remains indifferent to the choice, while Danzo emphasizes Orochimaru's talent as a reason for the selection 17. Their interactions are minimal in the provided context; Kizaru does not seem to form a deep bond with Orochimaru, though Orochimaru shows a rare moment of concern when healing Jiraiya after Kizaru's attack 21. Orochimaru observes Kizaru's training and fights alongside the other Sannin, and he is listed among those who witness Kizaru's spar with Danzo 26.

Over time, their relationship develops into pragmatic scientific cooperation. Kizaru entrusts Orochimaru with research related to Ryūchi Cave and Senjutsu while ordering Root to support the project 179. Kizaru also relies on Orochimaru's work with Tsunade and Hashirama Cells when seeking a way to restore Zen-hiko's lost arm and eye 221.

Uchiha Inabi

Inabi, a fellow prodigy from the Uchiha clan, is Kizaru's first major rival. During their initial spar at the Ninja Academy, Kizaru effortlessly dodges and outmaneuvers Inabi, demonstrating speed and power rivaling a Jonin, which shatters Inabi's pride 1. Following this defeat, Inabi experiences a surge of attention after awakening his Sharingan, but he avoids Kizaru due to the rumors about his ability, feeling both confident and guilty 32. Kizaru pays no mind to these rumors, focusing on his own training 32. Their relationship remains one of unspoken rivalry, with Inabi representing the Uchiha clan's general hostility toward Kizaru and the Shimura clan.

Years later, Kizaru serves as an evaluator for Inabi's Genin team, deliberately withholding ninjutsu and Haki so that Inabi, Hyuga Toda, and Shimura Yuki can learn the value of cooperation 133 134. The former rivalry consequently shifts into a mentor-and-student dynamic.

Shimura Clan Elders (Great Elder, etc.)

The elders of the Shimura clan view Kizaru as a "treasure" and the future of the clan, bestowing upon him comprehensive care and support 3 4. From the moment he reveals his Glint-Glint Fruit ability, they are filled with "pleasant surprise" and immediately work to protect him by claiming it is an awakened bloodline 2. The Great Elder, in particular, maintains a "kindly smile" and fervently supports Kizaru, even considering political marriages or handmaidens to secure his legacy 3. The elders' unconditional backing gives Kizaru significant autonomy, even allowing him to defy Danzo's attempts to recruit him into Root 2. They view Kizaru as a "newborn unicorn project" worthy of the clan's blind investment 2.

Kizaru's Inner Circle (Zen-hiko, Shimura Yoshihiko, Shimura Yuki, Shimura Tanin, Shimura Shintaro)

These five children form Kizaru's close-knit group of followers within the Shimura clan. Kizaru deliberately trains them after school, acting as a leader and mentor while also helping them bond with Namikaze Minato 32. His relationship with each is distinct: Zen-hiko is the one Kizaru defends against the Uchiha's unfair treatment, prompting his challenge for early graduation 17; Yoshihiko is boastful and competitive, often provoking Yuki but deeply idolizing Kizaru; Yuki is fierce and easily jealous, openly vying for Kizaru's attention; Tanin is gentle and scholarly, acting as a mediator; Shintaro is intelligent but sickly, admiring Kizaru as a symbol of hope 4 30. Kizaru maintains a friendly, approachable demeanor with them—tapping Shintaro's forehead affectionately, holding Yuki's hand—to ensure their loyalty and the clan's unity 4 30.

Zen-hiko's later injury becomes a defining test of this bond. After losing his right arm and eye while gathering intelligence in the Land of Grass, Zen-hiko falls into a vacant, traumatized state, believing that he can no longer become Kizaru's right-hand man 218 219. Kizaru refuses to abandon him and offers the possibility of restoring his body through Hashirama Cells research and transplanted eyes 221.

Nawaki Senju

Though a secondary relationship, Kizaru's actions toward Nawaki, Tsunade's younger grand-nephew, are pivotal. To prevent an assassination attempt targeting Nawaki due to his Senju bloodline, Kizaru deliberately hospitalizes him, causing Tsunade's initial fury 40. This protective measure, while extreme, stems from Kizaru's desire to preserve the village's strength and avoid trouble. Nawaki himself is not directly involved with Kizaru beyond this incident, but the act demonstrates Kizaru's willingness to take harsh, preemptive action even against allies for their own safety.

Hatake Sakumo and Sarutobi Shinnosuke

Both form cordial, friendly bonds with Kizaru through social interactions. After a team is sent to guard the border against Kumogakure's retaliation, Hiruzen's son Sarutobi Shinnosuke treats Kizaru and Sakumo to barbecue at the Akimichi Clan's restaurant, showing generosity and eagerness to bond 50. Sakumo is more cautious about spending but accompanies them, and their camaraderie is part of Kizaru's growing network within Konoha's elite 50. These interactions reinforce Kizaru's position as a respected figure among the next generation of powerful shinobi.

Sakumo later works closely with Kizaru in political and military matters, and Kizaru is trusted enough to assist with the assessment of Sakumo's students 122 133. He becomes one of Kizaru's dependable supporters during the Fourth Hokage's rise and the Land of Light's expansion 222 410.

Matatabi and Shukaku

Kizaru develops an unusual relationship with the Tailed Beasts based on overwhelming strength, blunt honesty, and the promise of freedom from sealing. After capturing the Third Raikage, he subdues Matatabi without using a seal and treats the Two-Tails as a companion rather than a weapon 78. Matatabi becomes one of Kizaru's closest Tailed Beast partners, often acting as the more composed voice when Shukaku causes trouble 161 163.

Kizaru later defeats Shukaku during the Sunagakure conflict and persuades the One-Tail to join him by promising freedom and the ability to travel as Matatabi does 158 159. Shukaku remains abrasive and rebellious, but obeys Kizaru because of the painful lessons he receives whenever he goes too far 161. Kizaru subsequently uses Matatabi's testimony to earn the trust of the other Tailed Beasts and reaches an agreement with them rather than forcibly sealing them 341.

Kakuzu

Kizaru first assesses Kakuzu at a hot spring inn, testing the bounty ninja's speed, endurance, and willingness to fight. During the test, Kizaru easily withstands Kakuzu's attacks and launches him away with a taijutsu strike powerful enough to create a crater 60. Recognizing Kakuzu's Kage-level ability and interest in money, Kizaru recruits him for border patrol work with rewards for killing or capturing enemies 60.

Kakuzu later becomes a practical partner in Kizaru's expanding network, agreeing to manage the accounts of the Nutrient Serum project in exchange for intelligence support in bounty hunting 174. Their relationship remains transactional, with Kizaru respecting Kakuzu's abilities while continually provoking his temper.

Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi

Kizaru cultivates both Fugaku and Hiashi as important partners in his Ninja Academy reforms. Fugaku becomes Kizaru's assistant as part of the broader political reconciliation between Kizaru and the Uchiha Clan, while Hiashi similarly assists in managing the Academy 168 190. Over years of cooperation, the two become Kizaru's capable right-hand men despite their rivalry with each other 190.

Kizaru entrusts Fugaku with increasing responsibility and proposes taking Fugaku's future first child as a personal disciple in exchange for Uchiha cooperation with Sharingan and Hashirama Cells research 120 122. He also confronts Hyuga main-branch elders when they attempt to interfere with a student's chosen path, making clear that harm to his students will have severe consequences 190.

Notable Battles

Vs. Jiraiya

Kizaru's first notable battle occurs during a sparring match with Jiraiya, the Third's student. The encounter takes place in a training ground, likely as part of an evaluation or demonstration of Kizaru's abilities. Jiraiya, initially viewing Kizaru as a mere brat, employs a variety of Earth and Fire Style ninjutsu, but Kizaru counters with his unique Light Style and enhanced speed. The match escalates when Kizaru reveals his ability to transform into light, blinding Jiraiya and striking him with a light-speed kick that sends him crashing through multiple tree trunks. Kizaru then prepares a finishing blow with a glowing finger, but Tsunade intervenes to protect her comrade, ending the fight. The battle demonstrates Kizaru's raw power and the devastating potential of his Kekkei Genkai 21.

Techniques Used:

• Light Style transformation (becoming light to blind and move)
• Light-speed kick
• Light beam from fingertip (unleashed but not fired)

Key Moments:

• Jiraiya uses multiple elemental jutsu but fails to land a hit.
• Kizaru transforms into light, blinding Jiraiya and striking him with a powerful kick.
• Kizaru pins Jiraiya and raises a golden light on his index finger, ready to execute.
• Tsunade shouts for him to stop, and Kizaru halts his attack.

Raid on Kumogakure

As part of a retaliatory operation against Kumogakure for two failed assassination attempts, Kizaru infiltrates the village alone while his teammates, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Hatake Sakumo, create a diversion by attacking border strongholds. After confirming the Third Raikage has left the village with an elite squad, Kizaru waits an hour before moving. He plants eighteen Flash Bombs at strategic locations throughout the village undetected, using invisibility and Observation Haki to avoid sensory ninja. Detonating the bombs simultaneously causes massive chaos, destroying infrastructure and killing hundreds of ninja. Kizaru then engages the defending forces, using his Light Style to devastating effect before retreating upon sensing the Raikage's return. The attack leaves Kumogakure's infrastructure in ruins and claims hundreds of lives 45 46.

Techniques Used:

• Flash Bomb (chakra sphere that emits blinding light and explosive force)
• Light Style lasers (used against defending ninja)
• Invisibility technique
• High-speed flight

Key Moments:

• Kizaru waits patiently for one hour after the Raikage leaves.
• He plants 18 Flash Bombs in key locations without alerting anyone.
• The bombs detonate simultaneously, sowing panic and destruction.
• Kizaru moves through the village, killing ninja with light-based attacks.
• He retreats as the Third Raikage returns, avoiding a direct confrontation with the full force.

Ambush of the Third Raikage

After withdrawing from the village, Kizaru does not flee the area. Instead, he ambushes the Third Raikage on the road as the latter rushes back to Kumogakure. Catching the Raikage off guard, Kizaru delivers a side kick to the waist, followed by a thick laser beam. The Third Raikage, despite being wounded, activates his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to form a Lightning Armor and withstands the attack. He demands to know his opponent's identity, and a fierce but brief exchange occurs. Kizaru wounds him severely — the Raikage suffers internal organ damage and a significant injury to his waist — before disengaging and retreating with his team. This battle establishes Kizaru as a genuine Kage-level threat in the eyes of Kumogakure 47.

Kizaru later defeats and captures the Third Raikage during the Second Shinobi World War, a victory that becomes known throughout the Shinobi World and helps drive his fusion rate from 53% to 66% 74 78.

Techniques Used:

• Light-speed side kick
• Laser beam (thick, fired from foot)
• High-speed mobility for ambush
• Six Powers: Finger Pistol variant reinforced with Armament Haki

Key Moments:

• Kizaru kicks the Raikage in the waist before he can fully activate his Lightning Armor.
• He follows up with a laser that strikes the airborne Raikage.
• The Raikage manages to activate full Lightning Armor and parries the laser.
• The Raikage coughs blood and demands Kizaru's name.
• Kizaru retreats without finishing the fight, having achieved his objective.

Vs. Blue B

During the Chunin Exams, Blue B loses control of the Eight-Tails' chakra and prepares to launch a Tailed Beast Bomb. Might Duy attempts to restrain him with techniques including Tempest Kick and Finger Pistol: Tornado, but is unable to end the rampage. Kizaru intervenes, kicks Blue B into a wall, and stomps him unconscious, forcing the Eight-Tails' chakra to retreat 152.

Techniques Used:

• Raw taijutsu
• Light-speed kick
• Overwhelming physical strength

Key Moments:

• Kizaru interrupts Blue B before the Tailed Beast Bomb can be fired.

Intervention in the Land of Wind

When Iwagakure and Sunagakure clash in the Land of Wind, Kizaru arrives as Konoha's sole reinforcement. Using Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, he releases an enormous golden slash that creates an immeasurable chasm across the desert and physically separates the two armies. He then warns both sides that anyone crossing the line will die, compelling Iwagakure to withdraw 158.

Kizaru subsequently rides Matatabi to the Kumogakure-Sunagakure battlefield, defeats the berserk Shukaku, and persuades the One-Tail to become his companion rather than allowing it to be sealed again 158 159.

Techniques Used:

• Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi
• Massive golden flying slash
• High-speed movement
• Raw physical force against Shukaku

Key Moments:

• Kizaru divides the battlefield with a single golden slash.
• Ōnoki is forced to reconsider confrontation with Konoha.
• Kizaru defeats Shukaku and offers freedom instead of imprisonment.
• His intervention forces Kumogakure to withdraw and ends a major part of Sunagakure's crisis 159.

Vs. Madara Uchiha

Kizaru confronts a suspected Madara Uchiha after Matatabi reports an attack. Despite the arrival of Hiruzen, Danzo, Tsunade, and Sakumo as reinforcements, Kizaru defeats the enemy without injury, leaving only a Wood Clone behind 103. The incident reveals that Madara is alive, possesses Hashirama's Wood Release, and represents a continuing danger to Konoha 120.

During Madara's later assault on Konoha and the Five Kage Summit, Kizaru manifests the Giant of Light. Growing larger than Madara's Complete Body Susanoo, he catches a descending meteorite with one hand and protects the village from destruction 272. The battle and Madara's subsequent subjugation elevate Kizaru's public prestige in the Land of Light to an unprecedented level 341.

Techniques Used:

• Giant of Light transformation
• Massive Natural Energy control
• Light Style
• Sage Mode-enhanced physical power

Key Moments:

• Kizaru defeats Madara's initial assault without suffering injury 103.
• He confirms Madara's survival and access to Hashirama Cells 120.
• In Giant of Light form, Kizaru catches Madara's meteorite before it can destroy Konoha 272.
• His eventual subjugation of Madara helps eliminate dissent against the Land of Light's reforms 341.

Vs. the Three Marine Admirals

During the Summit War in the One Piece world, Kizaru openly reveals himself as Shimura Kizaru, leader of the Assassin Brotherhood and a revolutionary opponent of the World Government. He confronts Admiral Borsalino, Aokiji, and Akainu simultaneously, using Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, Light Style, and additional abilities to dominate their first exchange 427 428.

Techniques Used:

• Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi
• Light-speed combat
• Conqueror's Haki
• High-speed water blade
• Giant of Light transformation

Key Moments:

• His reputation in the Pirate World becomes so fearsome that many Marines refer to him as a demon god 504.

Trivia

• Kizaru's original name was Shimura Senxin, but he forcibly changed it to Shimura Kizaru after transmigrating to accelerate his Character Card fusion rate — a name change the clan allowed as long as he kept the surname Shimura 2.
• The Character Card fusion rate increased from 20% to 45% over two years following Kizaru's graduation exam and the announcement that the Third would take him as an apprentice 40.
• At only 10% fusion, Kizaru unlocked the Glint-Glint Fruit ability, which he considered the "perfect ability" for its offense, mobility, high damage, and high evasion 2.
• Kizaru developed a hobby of sneaking into the Great Elder's courtyard to fish in the pond — stocked with the Great Elder's prized ornamental fish — simply to enjoy peace and quiet after becoming too famous to walk around the village without attracting attention 16.
• The Shimura clan privately described Kizaru as a "monster" — not as an insult, but as an exclamation of awe, viewing him as a "newborn unicorn project" worthy of the entire clan's blind investment 2.
• Kizaru spent two years developing ways to combine his Devil Fruit powers with ninjutsu, leading to inventions like an invisibility technique (genjutsu + fruit) and remote-detonatable flash bombs (sealing jutsu + fruit) 40.
• He once convinced Danzo not to recruit Namikaze Minato into Root by calling the idea a "truly terrifying topic" and advising Danzo to adopt him as a foster son instead 32.
• Kizaru's physical enhancement ability — fusing the physical attributes of the young Admiral Kizaru — was his second major fusion, and it made him feel so much stronger that he looked forward to his upcoming battle against an Uchiha Jonin, thinking, "Don't get too scared!" 17.
• During the exam, Kizaru's performance was so monstrous that even Uchiha Inabi, who had awakened his Sharingan early, worried about the rumors of Kizaru's power — though Kizaru paid no attention and spent his time slacking off and developing the Rasengan at home 32.
• Kizaru developed a three-direction training plan focusing on genjutsu, just enough to avoid being caught by the Sharingan, sealing jutsu, which he considered incredibly powerful and full of potential, and senjutsu, noting that it could extend lifespan 3.
• When Danzo told Kizaru his new mentor would be Orochimaru, Kizaru's immediate thought was, "In a little while, would Orochimaru even be able to beat him?" — worrying it would be embarrassing if the teacher couldn't beat the student 17.
• Kizaru's response to the Kumogakure ninjas' curses during his rampage was to laugh and say, "Ohoho, what truly terrifying curses," before methodically executing them one by one with golden light beams from his fingertip 46.

• At 66% fusion, Kizaru can wrestle Matatabi using only raw physical force, without relying on Chakra, Haki, or his Devil Fruit 74.
• Kizaru's Fruit awakening occurs at 91% fusion after he forces Iwagakure and Kumogakure to retreat in the Land of Wind 167.
• Kizaru is nicknamed the “Greedy Smiling Great Demon King” by students because he confiscates snacks, toys, manga, novels, and even Sasori's mecha under the pretext of school discipline, with the items never returning to their owners 190.
• Kizaru's true height grows to approximately three meters, but he normally uses Senjutsu: Life Return to reduce it to around 1.9 meters 191.
